unique reads
oh ok. so im using the s_#_sequence.txt file in MAQ, i presume this is just as good as the export.txt file? im using the 'match' command with default settings and 'assemble' with -q 10. Is this sufficient to get alignments consisting only of unique reads, i.e reads that map to only one position?.
thanks for your help

You might be better off using filtered reads from the export file since MAQ gives non unique reads a low mapping quality and thus do not contribute to SNP calling. Also even though the documentation states that sorted.txt contains only uniquely aligning reads I have seen cases where a sorted.txt file contains reads which DO map to more than one location.Leave a comment:

s_#_sorted.txt files
hello,
im a NGS newbie and i have some solexa data from their pipeline v1.3. can the s_#_sorted.txt files be used in MAQ and how?. i believe these files contain reads that map to the genome uniquely.
thank you

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
